My review, from a few months ago, of Russell Brand's dreadful book about his rather convenient religious conversion. @thetimes
"Brand has swallowed a dictionary, and it is not coming out again via his mouth"

Edmund Richardson’s excellent biography of Alexander the Great has won the Baillie Gifford Prize. I reviewed it in May for @RobbieTimes. He fought hard and partied hard and had the most expensive hangover in history. Alexander, that is, not Robbie

I went to the midnight launch of the new Sarah J Maas to discover why women love romantasy. It’s not just fairy porn! (And a big thank you to the Maas fandom for being so welcoming and generous to an outsider - they were lovely.)

Good to see some robust discussion in the comments of my latest book review for @thetimes about the risks of writing about unspeakable tragedies. Hopefully the review itself makes clear that I am very much in favour of authors tackling these subjects!
